Therapeutic
Centre
We are a newly established institution – unique in the non-medical disciplines of the Palacký University Olomouc.
We were established in a time of an unsustainable and alarming situation in the field of access to psychotherapeutic treatments in the Czech Republic. We are continuing in our previous support for the public amid the COVID-19 pandemic which were provided in the form of online crisis counselling sessions. Even after the pandemic has subsided, we perceive a constant "increase the need" for therapeutic services. Our centre is supervised by external experts in clinical psychology.
You just need to choose an appropriate approach for your problems or difficulties, or get advice from our coordinator Mgr. Hrušková at the phone number +420 739 489 441

A requirement for successful stress prevention is awareness of one's own stressors.

Goals of stress management
Self-awareness:
- to be aware of how we usually cope with stress and what a consequence is,
- to understand which factors in us " are to blame" for the onset, intensity and duration of stress or negative emotions,
- to understand the meaning and importance of our sensitivity, resilience, emotions, and growth,
- to recognise the need for personal development, to recognise barriers to grow and to know how to overcome them,
- to recognise different approaches and attitudes to problems and challenging situations.
Develop relaxation and rest techniques:
- to learn the concepts and principles of relaxation and rest,
- practice techniques of concentration, relief and relaxation based on the "mind-body" connection,
- to know how to stimulate your creative energy,
- to acquire the ability to retain and visualise pleasant experiences, goals, and priorities,
- to know how to reframe bad memories,
- to become aware of the possibility of changing unhelpful habits,
- to gain the ability not to repress negative energy but to vent it out in a safe way.
Nurturing long-term performance:
- to be aware of the patterns of performance, ageing, health and psychological well-being,
- to understand which components affect our health conditions,
- to find tips for simple, enjoyable and functional treatments for our long-term performance.
Stress becomes chronic when we lose control over our life. This may show itself in increased irritability or anxiety. Tools which reduce the level of stress hormones in the brain help to control stress.
